Did you try speaking to the manager there?<br /><br />Even if they didn't have a good protocol in place for accommodating the needs of people with disabilities, there's still no call for them to be so rude about it. Because if there wasn't a good procedure in place (which, alas, wouldn't surprise me) ... then there SHOULD have been one.Andrea S.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-878839922447084562010-08-06T14:39:05.049-04:002010-08-06T14:39:05.049-04:00Dave, are you going to the new "Calypso"...Dave, are you going to the new "Calypso" water park near Ottawa? I took my 13-year-old daughter, who has Down syndrome, and orthopedic problems that confine her to a stroller for distances more than a few feet, to that Park, and had a TERRIBLE experience with customer service. Not only were they not willing to make any concessions for her, the person at the gate was very rude, and flippant, telling me, "I don't care how other places do it, that's not how its done here." <br /><br />I'll be interested to here about your experience if you go!<br /><br />Have fun on vacation!Betsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08993936253314777950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-89878388345946335352010-08-06T14:16:53.971-04:002010-08-06T14:16:53.971-04:00Hey, theknapper, I'm reading an awesome series...Hey, theknapper, I'm reading an awesome series - completely different from any other series - by Olen Steinhauer.

No, better yet, may they be all neatly tied up in a bow and done with as you leave and filed away. Take Dave 2 with you (he's part of who we love) and give him a well deserved break, too!
